Meditation for Overthinking ~ How to Sto...

GUIDED MEDITATION
About this episode

Meditation for overthinking is a powerful tool that can help clear your mind, cope with stress and reduce anxiety. Learning how to stop overthinking with mindfulness meditations and guided stress reducing methods can help calm your mind instantly.


Overthinking can feel very overwhelming almost immediately with almost no signs it's about to happen and make you feel helpless, scared, worried or even hopeless. When we begin to overthink our minds can often create situations and scenarios that not only aren't really happening but also have a very small chance of ever happening. When this happens it can feel almost impossible to overcome and can take incredible inner strength to find a way to stop.


What we suggest is that you don't try to battle this alone. Using a useful tool like guided meditations are a fast and simple way to sometimes instantly be pulled out of that hole we can all feel we fall into when overthinking. The goal here isn't to think our way out of it. That just sends our mind in circles. The two fastest ways to stop overthinking and calm your mind are to get into your body, some form of exercise or movement is a great way to take the focus out of your head and into your body.


The second is to give up control to something else for a moment. We suggest guided meditation. Even a short meditation for overthinking or a mindfulness meditation for anxiety is a way to calm your mind and relax your thoughts. If you're new to meditation and looking for some meditation for beginners to help you stop overthinking, cope with stress or relieve some anxiety then look no further.


Short guided meditations like this one here are a perfect introduction to meditation. Let me remind you that meditation doesn't need to be a perfect practice. A successful meditation is achieved just be you sitting down for a moment to practice. We're not looking to achieve transcendental enlightenment here, instead just a few moments of peaceful calm to help our mind limit it's response to overthinking.
